India St. / Greenpoint

In the early days of Brooklyn, Greenpoint was mainly farmland. Then it became industrialized. Today it's not only a vibrant place to raise a family, but also a very popular community which is home to artists & musicians, blue-collar workers, and creative retailers (many of which feature artisanal products.) Greenpoint has been categorized as a Polish neighborhood, making it rich with culture and the local mantra is to maintain the character of the neighborhood, no matter how popular it gets...and lately it has become quite popular. With a respectable number of bars and restaurants, tree-lined streets, brick-faced condominiums, and a rapidly developing waterfront, Greenpoint is definitely worth a look around.

An independent bookstore located on the corner of Franklin and Milton
Streets in the historic district of Greenpoint Brooklyn, features a wide
variety of new books: literary fiction, non-fiction, gift books, kids’
books, puzzles and more.
